#i'll die on the hill of 'if you say loser shit like puriteens you are arguing in bad faith' because it is such a stupid fucking thing to say

post about how censorship is a dangerous thing, and that throwing out “what if a CHILD saw this?” about things you don’t like is parroting conservative rhetoric (because it’s true, some things are going to be uncomfortable, and will make you uncomfortable, but should not be forbidden on the grounds of that discomfort)

it’s some stupid fuckwit covertly arguing that actually, they shouldn’t have to face any criticism for posting their shitty incest fanfic under the guise of a take that any average person would think is perfectly reasonable (they’re idiots who put that shit out in public and are not immune to people pointing out Hey That’s Weird)

#roarkposting #you cannot have a goddamn conversation about censorship on this website! #people who's kneejerk reaction to discomfort is 'this should not be allowed in any form ever' #will go well yes. CONSERVATIVE censorship is bad but mine is different and only the stuff *i* don't like #and then #people who are way too into incest and adult/minor shit and think you are being mean to them for calling them a fucking weirdo about it #will think you're on THEIR side. you are NOT associated with me! #none of the 'i just like Dark Themes in fiction' crowd mean it they just think that if they call their like. fucking #harry potter incest shit 'dark fiction' that suddenly makes it Not Weird and Above Criticism #i studied literature i have read and written about some incredibly fucked up works of fiction #they are Good and they do not always spell out 'hey this form of abuse was Bad and Evil' because they don't HAVE to. gotta use ur brain #something which. ironically. these ppl do not seem interested in doing #they much prefer digging in their heels and going nuh uhhhhh you're just being Mean for No Reason #i'll die on the hill of 'if you say loser shit like puriteens you are arguing in bad faith' because it is such a stupid fucking thing to say #sorry for Poasting about this again it just frustrates me to no end because. God #i am so sick of people with awful opinions disguising their shit (BC THEY KNOW THEY R NOT IN THE RIGHT!) as something that seems #perfectly sensible and outright reasonable on the surface
